I recently lucked into this wonderful music, and I watched a YouTube video or two discussing the mystery behind it. One thing that surprised me is that, while the videos seemed largely well researched, they would touch on the strange name "Hawaii Part II" without mentioning what seems obvious to me:

Hawaii Part II might actually be Hawaii Partii (pronounced "party"). A play on the fact that the "ii" in "Hawaii" makes a "y" sound.

I didn't do a super thorough search to see if this has been discussed on this sub before, but a cursory search didn't turn up anything.

Surely this isn't a novel observation, right?

Just a shower thought I wanted to share.
